Maintaining the Fertility cE
Soils.

There are few rules in regard to.
maintaining fertility which should be
followed. One is that all the unsold
OF unfcd portions of crops should, if
possible, be returned to the sol upon
which they grew, or al eluivocnt
should be rcturno,L Thus if wheat
is raised, the grain sold and tire straw
compostca wish tic durY Gf ann,f,ls,
we form n manure which returns
much that WAS removed by the crop.
If the straw be partly fed to annimals
still a large portion naturally finds
its way back to the soil. A portion
of the plant food supply Of the soil is
irrecovorHblT lost in the grain sold,
i'll the BONES of the animals, in the
milk sold off the farm, etc. Rut we
can calculate very nearly what this
loss is and make it good ut small ex
ponsc if We do not delay too long. IT
IS much better to feed than to sell
hay and straw, bccause the tax upon
the soll is so much less, and whoever
does sell these products should surely
plan to buy fertilizers to make good
his drafts upon the soil. Near cities
it is always easy to buy stable manure,
and this is ordinarily the most eco,
nomical. The hay, grain and straw
are thus returned, the loss is not on.

the land is improving MI the time, for
this is the natural result of tillage,--

L do not hold that capitalists should
old the nose of the luborer to the

tute these "strikes;" and besides,
when these STRIKES" do take place,

lt.is q common but wretched mis-
take on the part Of young people be-
ginning life to gauge their expendi-
ture by then wants rather than by
their means, "my wife must have
this, says the husband; "she can't

che must be well clothed;" "W G
can't do without this" says the young
wife; and SO it goes. What they
want-perhaps what they need
they make their rule of expenditure,
not what they have the money to pay
for. The result is certain before tho
experiment is undertaken--debt, anx
1ety, misery. Living beyond their
means wrecks the happiness ofmany
and many in which their is no
vice and no other outstanding rock on
which to cast away the comfort of the
home.
What is the remedy? Turn the
rule the other end first. Let the
money you have, not your wants or
your needs, gauge your expenditures

Cur sister town, Seneca City, IS.
somewhat exercised over the question
of granting license to sellliquor, The
| Council elected last March was olect-
ed without reference 10 The question
of licensing bar-rooms. It now APP
pears that three of the Wardens favor
bar-room license, while the Intendant
and one Warden, who is also Clerk of
Council, refuse to sign an ordinance
to that effect. We think the Inten-
Giant is right, as the liquor law in
Oconee is in such condition that no
one can understand it, =
Has Oconee any liquor law? Did
the Act prohibiting the sale of liquor
IN the county repeal the special pro-
hibitory Acts of Seneca and West
minister? If it did, then did the re.
peal of the county Act remand the
whole county to the general State law
as to selling liquor2 If the, latter did
not, then this county stands alone in
the State without line or word for
or against selling liquor. No one
could hardly como to this conclusion.
Suppose, however, such were the case,
even then how could the Council IL
cense bar-rooms? The original char
ter of the town Of Seneca authorized
the Council to grant licenses to sell
liquor on certain conditions. The
special prohibitory Act repealed that
cause Of the charter, and the repeal
of the general and special Acts, if eff
fccted, cannot restore that clause of
the town charter confelring power on
Council to grant license. Whether,
then, the special Act as to Seneca is
repealed OF not, we can't see where
the Council has power to grant IL
ccnsc. Our opinion inclines to the
view that the special Acts passed for
Seneca and ostministcr have never
been repealed, though we have some
doubts about it. We once invcstipa-
ted the worry question and intended
to raise the point ona case then pond
ING, Nevcr tricd,) though we had but
little faith i'll the availability Of the
defense. The question is muddy
one and VIC only give our imperfect
recollection Of ou opinion formed two
years ago. To refuse license is SAT
est and require those seeking it to
raise the question by some proper
proceeding in court. We have no
personal or pccuniary interest in the
mAtter. - Non9rNe (0lllicr.
